Didnt this fucking jackass just like less than a week ago in the quarterly earnings report say they were going to release an affordable EV in a year, and now they just announced aha just fucking kidding on that one?

And the latest FHD still has insane bugs that try to murder you and those around you?

I wonder how long it will take thunderfoot or common sense skeptic to do a vid on this. Amazing.

Ok so, Tesla, shitting itself.

Twitter, shitting itself.

Boring Company... have they actually started any new projects?

Hyperloop companies have now all, I think, either gone bankrupt, dissolved, or switched to doing something else.

SolarCity? Actual Scam and Fraud.

Neuralink?

They recently claim to have made some progress with an actual human recipient of something like a seizure mediation device, but basically Neuralink is run by a bunch of students of an actual ground breaker in the realm of neural implants, and this actual ground breaker has been extremely critical of the company, and I believe threatened a lawsuit as they are basically using his research.

Theres been a whole bunch of top level staff leaving and drama. Hey they managed to unspeakably torture some pigs and monkeys though!

What they have with thesuccessfull human implant is neat, assuming its being reported on accurately, but its nothing new or groundbreaking.

Only thing left is SpaceX, and the only thing they've got going is Falcon 9 and Heavy.

Falcon 9 and Heavy are legitimately good rockets, problem is Musk and Shotwell have said for about a decade now they would get the launch costs down to around 5 million and a turn around time down to 24 hours or less.

So far the fastest turnaround on a Falcon re-use is a bit less than a month. And launch costs are competitive, but theyre 10 to 15 times what's been promised.

Starliner, BFR, whatever, has so far cost taxpayers about 2 billion dollars, is about half a decade behind the contracted schedule, would require something like 12+ launches including refueling to be capable of getting ONE vessel to Mars, or being able to get to the Moon and back.

Theyve launched three of the things and now have to redesign a 2nd and 3rd version. And the 3 launches have basically been failures.

I was surprised the third launch managed to actually get suborbital at all, but the ascent half impacted the ocean at about mach 1 or 2, and the actual starship developed an uncontrollable spin early on and burned up in the atmosphere.

In terms of the NASA contract, SpaceX is supposed to have made an uncrewed lunar landing as of... Q1 2024. Oops. Yeah thats about 12 launches and a moon landing and presumably return of the lunar lander... and so far they cannot even get one into orbit.

As far as orbit goes, Musk was originally saying Starship would be taking people to orbit in 2020. The thing is not even orbit capable yet, muchless human rated.

I dunno if SpaceX will go completely tits up as is/have most of Musk's other companies, its possible they'll remain significant with 9 and Heavy, but it should be obvious that with everything else Musk has lied about and mismanaged and his insane public appearances of late, and lawsuits... Starliner doesn't have a future.

They'll run out of their current funding contract from NASA, and NASA will realize that Lockheed or ULA or maybe Blue Origin is a better bet for their plans for the Moon.
